A final week at work

Today I'm off to Bali in Indonesia for a week, which I am super excited about.... to be honest I'm hoping for some diversity, and some culture. Australia, while lovely and beachey and hot is largely sin cultural or historical experiences. Not as bad as Miami, but I'm definately missing the sense of adventure a totally alien culture provided.
My last week in Freo has been largely without incident. I finished my thrilling telemarketing job, which while boring in itself was staffed by genuinely lovely people who made me very welcome and made me laugh through the day. We had a particularly good game in the office of sending people links through MSN that auto-opened to play songs very loudly, which if you're wearing a headset to do your telemarketing makes you jump a mile. Luckily I will see them again at my birthday night out which we're having when I'm back in Freo next weekend. Hopefully sin 'revenge of the borg' headsets this time.
Other than work I've been continuing with my running and exploring of the locale. They have a particularly lovely harbour here which is so beautiful to run along as dawn is breaking over the ocean.
I haven't ventured back to the swimming pool as of yet, for fear of ending up with a crispy back again, but hopefully I will get in another swim before I move on.
This week (as i'm sure you all know) North Queensland was ravaged by Cyclone Yasi, and I have to say I have been nothing but impressed with the response of the Oz emergency services who took everythign in their stride and managed to avoid any reported casualties to date. I have serious doubts that, if faced with a similar incident, the British services would be capable of responding half as efficently. Lets hope we never have to find out.

Right... off to catch my flight now! Yay!
